299.00?? It's listed as a 200 or a 201? I see a Singer 99 in fair condition. What am I missing?

Not necessarily a giggle (except listing it as a sowing machine). http://denver.craigslist.org/atq/5293824142.html I think that this one has been listed for a while I think it may have started out higher priced ?$100?? then ?$70? now $50. It looks fairly complete and fairly decent condition. I know the cabinet has been discussed on QB as desirable for this Domestic machine although this has hinges on top rather than lift off.

I contacted the seller and told them how to see if it runs using the knee bar.

The crazy thing is there is a bidder at that price! And they have increased their bid thinking someone else will get it? They must know a 201 is a good machine, but doesn't know how to verify what they are looking at?!? Around here 201s are about $100. I don't get it...

That smacks of a shill bidder, but that usually only happens if someone else is also bidding. Maybe they were trying to get watchers to bid? Once, years ago I accidentally put a $40 bid on something that was supposed to be a $4.00 bid and didn't catch it. I forgot about it and someone ran the bidding up at the last minute and I had to pay that $40. I've always wondered if the seller made that happen.

Hmm, You get interesting results when you look up a Davis number on a Singer chart
